  It is hard to reproduce this error with this report. Can you say how you got this error? Nim version? Did you use aporia? If not which command line did you use to compile the program? What is your sourcecode that you compiled? And can you paste the entire output of the compiler?

  The Windows API wrapper (windows.nim) is now not part of the official distribution anymore. Instead use the oldwinapi Nimble package.

  Why did you not try something like

  nimble install oldwinapi

  There may be a reason why Dominik wrote the nimble package manager. (I can not test that command, no Windows here.) And of course you may be interested in buying his book :-)

  • i delete lib/wrappers/windows.nim
  • nimble install oldwinapi ( installed into C:/Users/ $USERNAME /.nimble/pkgs/oldwinapi-1.0.0 )

  but the error present just the same.
